Third Party Tickets Purchase - Email from Disney ?

[mmfox316]

Yikes.
How much money did buying through them save you as compared to UnderCoverTourist and Mapleleaf?

I wanted to know that too. I always buy from the frog.

It's not sketchy. They are an "approved" third party seller by Touring Plans. I did a search on them - it's a spinoff from another reputable company.

OP - please let us know what happens when you get to Disney regarding these tickets. Many are skeptical (there has been an identical scam in the past selling used vouchers that linked to MDE then didn't work at the gate), we won't know what to think until you report back. Hopefully everything is on the up-and-up and there are cheaper ticket options out there! Thanks!

They aren't an approved seller by Disney. That's all I need to know. I'll stick with UCT.

Everything worked out fine, I guess I should have been more patient. I gave the Disney Internet Help Desk the voucher number, I assume they converted it to an actual Disney ticket number because they linked it to MDE as they told me they would at the start of our conversation.

As far as the price saving, it was worth it to me.

Which tickets did you buy so we can see the difference in price from the other sellers (not Disney)? Thanks.

I wanted a 6 day Park Hopper for an adult, but as you will see it takes me to a 7 day park hopper for the same price.

Here is the thread I posted wondering about Boardwalk Ticketing. I found them through Touring Plans ticket finder. Len Testa from TP responded. You can view that here. He said it is an individual who branched off from ParkSavers.

I got my vouchers within an hour or so of booking and he said the Disney # should come within 72 hours. He never said from Disney just that it would be updated in a bit. Similar to booking from Orbitz/Cheaptickets with getting the Disney reservation number.

Right now they have a deal on 7 day hoppers. They are basically the price of 4 day hoppers with 3 days free. I had super fast communication with them and that reference from Len Testa from Touring Plans made it feel safe enough for me.

I just saw the 4 days with 3 free deal and I'm tempted. I only need a 5 day PH, but this deal was actually cheaper than a regular 5 day pass! I'm just a bit nervous since I've never heard of them before, but the Touring Plans reference does make me feel a bit better.

I just wanted to say I purchased from Boardwalk Ticketing. Within an hour I had my vouchers and was informed within 72 hours I would have the codes necessary to link to MDE for magic band use. I was a bit antsy and called Disney direct today and they pulled them right up on my account and got them linked. I bet by Monday I will have the codes from Boardwalk, just had to wait over the weekend.

I looked up a 7 day park hopper, it was $70 less than UT. It said they were good until Dec 2018 but required a date of first use and that said must be before Dec 30, 2017.

I hope some folks who bought these tickets come back and tell us how they worked on their trip.

I'm confused about the "vouchers" you received that didn't include the codes. Where did the vouchers come from, if not from Boardwalk Ticketing?

They come from Boardwalk Ticketing but are Expedia vouchers. They include boardwalk ticketing and Expedia confirmation numbers including a scan bar and ticket information. As stated on boardwalks website you would take these vouchers to guest services and get physical card tickets.OR in 72 hours they forward on the code from Disney to link them to your mde account to use with magic bands and they work without activation at guest services.

I could be wrong, but I didn't think Disney approved ANY third party sellers.

You're wrong.

There are quite a few authorized resellers. Undercover Tourist and Maple Leaf Tickets spring to mind immediately.

Yes, you are wrong. There are Disney approved ticket sellers. Undercover Tourist is one for sure, I can't think of any others off the top of my head, but I know there are more.

Many on the TPAS board bought & used Park Savers tix and have also upgraded to AP - Boardwalk seems to be a PS offshoot company.

The 2018 use-by does not matter if you link them to MDE - my 7 day PS PH looks no different than the 4 day tickets I bought directly from Disney and has a 2030 expiry.

The names and day of use don't matter either unless you are not linking to MDE & need to physically redeem the voucher at WDW.

I need a three day park ticket is there any place to buy that type of ticket cheeper than Disney ??

 

[threeboysmom]

You're wrong.

Yes, you are wrong.

Wow, I stand corrected. I had no idea Disney actually approves of vendors selling discounted tickets. Usually they're notorious for shutting down anything that interferes with them getting full price for anything.
